Château du Moulin-à-Vent traces its origins to 1732, when the estate—then known as Château des Thorins—anchored the historic heart of the Moulin-à-Vent cru. Its long lineage includes the visionary Philiberte Pommier, whose 19th-century stewardship culminated in a gold medal at the 1862 Universal Exhibition, and a major transition in 1911 when Julien Damoy acquired the property and expanded its reputation. The modern era began in 2009 with the Parinet family, who restored the domaine after a difficult period for Beaujolais. Today the estate farms 30 hectares across top sites such as Champ de Cour, La Rochelle, Les Vérillats, Les Thorins, and Clos de Londres, emphasizing organic conversion, massale selection, and parcel-specific vinification. Production centers on Gamay grown on granite-based soils shaped by the region’s defining winds, with élevage in the château’s historic cellars.
